Dr. Granet is kind of like the old fashioned doctors that really used to listen and care. After seeing someone else in town at the Children's Hospital we were so disappointed. Dr. Granet was a breath of fresh air. We had lots of questions and we knew he was there for us. We did wait a little but while in the waiting room we met 3 families that flew in to see him - one from Europe! Another family was there with an emergency and told us how Dr. Granet was always there for them.
He's a world class doctor that happens to be in our backyard! How lucky are we here in SD. The other doctors might be ok if your child needs glasses but not if they need surgery - this is the guy. Peace of mind is worth anything to me as a parent - he gave us that.

We had been referred to another doctor for our child, but then went online and found Dr Granet, and he seemed good on paper. We wish we would have stuck with the other doctor, who we have seen ever since and we are very happy with.

As for Dr Granet, we waited forever to be seen, several HOURS in the waiting room, and then were seen by students first, which I understand since it is UCSD and teaching is part of it. But Dr Granet, when he finally did arrive, was so full of bluster and self importance! He spoke about himself more than about my son. When we asked about the other doctor, he said 'I am the best doctor in San Diego, you should be thankful that you are here today and not there.'

So unless you feel like waiting for hours on end to be told by someone how great they are, skip this doctor! There are other great doctors around (better actually). The other doctor wanted to do the same treatment in the same way as this one, but it was SO much of a better experience for my child and me. Never again.
